Ocean clean-up and debris recovery

At Pliosaur Energy, we recognise the need to remove waste from our oceans, particularly plastic that harms wildlife. We fully support the Sky Ocean Rescue campaign to help protect our oceans for future generations.

From a technological perspective, our turbines have the capability to recover any floating debris in the sea as the overtopping flow path of a wave passes through a screen before driving the turbine rotor. As this screen will be inspected and cleaned regularly by our operations personnel, our commitment is that we will collect and safely dispose of any plastic or similar inorganic debris to a recognised onshore waste-management facility. For turbines operated by third parties, we will require this obligation to be included in all commercial agreements.
